      So there you have it . Another article trying to drum up some business for an individual with a vested interest in scarmongering. I really hate it when sections of articles are taken out of context to justify an individuals point of view.
      I think you're suffering from a lack of logical thinking.
      The fact that someone with a vested interest says that something is true doesn't necessarily mean it's false.
      Hard Brexit now!

        I didn't actually say it was false, but I was implying that the article was very biased, and yes therefore potentially does present facts that have limited truth, as it had a specific marketing aim in mind. In that respect it was a good article....to summarise the article...sh*t is going to happen, talk to me and I can protect you form all the sh*t....for a fee of course.

        Really I only jealous because I didn't think of it first..still doesn't stop me copying his idea and jumping on the gravy train.

          Why not use your own judgement?
          Given the evidence so far do you think Brexit (I mean a real one, what some people call a "hard" one) will lead to a rise or fall in Sterling?

              To be honest I have no idea. I also have no influence over this as the global financial institutions will do what they want to do with the currency speculation market with the sole aim of making money. Therefore as I have no influence over the outcome it so is not worth my time worrying about it. I had my vote at the referendum. That was my chance to influence the future direction of our country. The result was declared through the democratic process. The country made it decision and for better or worse ( and nobody knows what the answer is - better or worse) we now have to deal with it.

              However, our democratic process has worked against us during the negotiations. The EU came to the table with a single unified plan, we on the other hand were (and are) still disputing the referendum result and therefore were too busy fighting across political parties and within all political parties instead of presenting the same unified front back to the EU. We were and always have been on the back foot during these negotiations. We should have played the stuff it and walk out card much earlier when there was still time to come back to the table and talk.

                Short term fall. (mainly caused by dirty speculums riding the uncertainty wave)
                Long term gain. (mainly caused by the drop in population caused by the whinging bremoaners either ******** off elsewhere or topping themselves, leaving the strongest and fittest to rebuild and put the "Great" back into "Great Britain"!)

                  dream on

                  Even if you stopped immigration the population will continue to increase, simply because old people don't die any more they just "bum around" causing huge costs. Cutting immigration will cause the working population to drop by around 250,000 every year even as the population increases.

                  Without immigration the UK will fail pretty quickly, which is why if you stop EU immigration, non-EU immigration will simply shoot up.

                  Brexit has only one effect, it will just make everyone poorer.
